Busted motor mount and the damage that is a result. - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisSedan · 01-28-2010, 02:09 PM

So one of my motor mounts went out. I suspect the one under the battery. I guess with the excessive engine movement it managed to break the bracket on my AFE intake. I assumed it was just cause i had a sedan and the intake didnt fit 100 percent exactly like it should like in the LB. But turns out its from the engine moving and constantly pulling on the intake tubing which is bolted the metal housing of the heat shield.

So where it bolts to the battery it ripped the bracket clear off. Also my nitto torque dampener the rubber bushings on each end are broken to pieces. Going to have to see if i can try to fill it in with some window weld or something. Otherwise may have to purchase a after market dampener and just use the nitto brackets.

I do drive my car a little agressively but its hard to believe even with the nitto torque dampner i was able to break a mount and cause this much damage as such low miles lol. To top it off i drive a automatic too not even a stick.

Anyone else come across this issue yet. I know they make a trd mount for the transmission but that mount i checked already is not broken.
